2016 NCAA Baton Rouge Regional – Post-Practice Quotes LSU – June 2, 2016 LSU Head Coach Paul Mainieri on Jared Poche' 2016 NCAA Baton Rouge Regional – Post-Practice Quotes LSU – June 2, 2016 LSU Head Coach Paul Mainieri On Jared Poche’ starting Friday’s game … “We are going to go with Jared Poche’ in game one. He’s a veteran outstanding pitcher, and I feel like he can get us off to a good start. I have a great deal of confidence in him. A couple of years ago he pitched the opening game. He pitched the opening game at the College World Series last year. He will be able to handle the pomp and circumstance and all of the attention while being calm, cool and collected out there. Obviously, he’s a top pitcher for us. Hopefully he will go out there and pitch the way he did at the SEC Tournament and get us off to a good start.” On scouting Utah Valley… “They’re a difficult team to scout because they haven’t had many television games. We have been able to get a little bit. We have had one common opponent in Sacramento State. I talked to the coach there, he said, ‘(Utah Valley’s) coach has been a friend of mine for 10 years, I’d rather not give you any information.’ Of course, I totally respected that. I got a little bit from Ball State, but they played them way back at the beginning of the year. We had to kind of scout them the old-fashioned way, looking at stat sheets and reading profiles, finding out as much information as we possibly can between the lines. They look like a really confident team. This team in 2012 won 32 games in a row, two short of the NCAA record. They used to be in a league called the Great West Conference. Now they are in the Western Athletic Conference. They’ve had a couple of years where it looks like they have kind of been building to this year because they have a very senior-laden team. They have four or five seniors in their starting lineup… They have a veteran team, and I’m sure they’ve been building toward this accomplishment. To win the Western Athletic Conference is a tremendous accomplishment. They swept a three-game series with Utah, who won the PAC-12. They split four games with Minnesota. They beat Oregon State when Oregon State was ranked fifth in the country. Believe me, they have our attention. They are an outstanding ball club, I’m sure. Nobody in this tournament is here except for the fact that they earned it. Every team in this tournament is either a conference champion or a really significant at-large team, which means they are really good. You respect all of your opponents. You’re in awe of none of them. You go out there and play as hard as you can. You concern yourself with how you play more than you do your opponent, and that’s our approach against Utah Valley.” SS Kramer Robertson On Utah Valley… “We know that they are going to have a big guy on the mound who throws pretty hard, which is nothing we are not used to. We see that every day in the SEC. It’s going to be a good arm… Obviously they have good players who were able to go through their conference tournament and win it. They take baseball very seriously there. Coach was telling us that they had a win streak that was 30-something games a few years ago. They obviously take baseball very seriously there. We know they beat Sacramento State two out of three times. We know they are going to be a quality opponent and that we will have to go out there and play well if we want to beat them.” On his first postseason as a regular starter… “I’m very excited. I’ve only gotten to play in one postseason game here my freshman year against Houston. I got to start one of those games, and I just remember it being an electric atmosphere. I’m looking forward to being a part of it this year. It’s the reason you come to LSU, to be in big games like this. I’m really excited to be a part of it.” LHP Jared Poche’ On having experience playing in the postseason at Alex Box Stadium… “We definitely have the best fans in the country, and they definitely show up for the postseason, especially when we play at home. You just have to learn how to control your emotions. Don’t get too high with the crowd being so crazy. It normally works to our advantage.” On finding out he was starting the first game of the Baton Rouge Regional… “I found out earlier in the week, but I couldn’t say anything. We had to get on our starter routine, but I was definitely excited when I found out I had the opportunity to open up the weekend.” 2016 NCAA Baton Rouge Regional – Post-Practice Quotes LSU – June 2, 2016 Rice Head Coach Wayne Graham Opening Statement… “We are really happy to be here. This is a place that I enjoy playing, because the fans make the experience an entertaining one. They can become rabid at times, but you get used to that over the years. At the end of the day it is energy that they bring to the game. I can remember them telling me that I needed a wheel chair twenty years ago, so comments like that do not bother me.” On playing Southeastern… “The more you read their resume the more fearful you get. They have good starting pitchers, great defense and offence and overall great coaching, so that makes it hard to find something they are not good at. We know that we have to play really well, in order to win the game.” On this Rice team compared to others you have coached… “Every team is different. The teams that won against Smoke and Skip had a lot of power, unlike this team. This team has the capability of playing good defense and pitching well.” On pitching to Southeastern’s hitters… “Well you have to attempt to stop the running game even though you cannot stop it entirely. You have to make good pitches. We do not have great pitching depth; it is our top four guys that are good. We are going to have to be very judicious with using our pitchers, particularly in a situation like this where it is going to be raining a lot.” On what Skip has done for this program… “I remember the first time meeting Skip when he came through San Jac (San Jacinto College) when I was there. He was always on the road and great at marketing his team and his program that he was building. He has done probably more for college baseball than anyone else.” On Southeastern’s first baseman who leads the nation in batting average… “He is not going to get to hit, we are going to walk him the entire time. He is a nonfactor unless he walks a run in. Not many hitters have the ability to hit .437 and can run. If you have an empty base with runners in scoring position, the odds are not there in our favor. I am not the best at math, but understand those numbers. You don’t want to walk him with no one on the bases, because he can steal a base creating a double. You have to be careful about how you handle that issue, but you would like it if he didn’t beat you.” On starting pitcher for tomorrow… “Our starting pitcher for tomorrow is Blake Fox.” 2016 NCAA Baton Rouge Regional – Post-Practice Quotes Southeastern Louisiana – June 2, 2016 Southeastern Louisiana Head Coach Matt Riser On how much it helps to be in a familiar venue with his team… “It’s really huge. You know when you get in a historic venue like this, there’s going to be a lot of emotions back and forth. If it’s your first time in ‘The Box’, you can be intimidated real fast. We played in a regional here two years ago, and we still have a lot of guys with us now that played on that team. When this crowd gets rolling, it’s one of the most electric in the country. The good thing is, our guys are mature and will know how to best handle this venue.” On how his team will handle the emotions of not looking ahead to playing LSU… “I think our club has done a good job of doing that all year. We had a tough week to end the season and it was easy enough to let that effect us in the tournament. But, we flushed it out and had a really great tournament. I think this club does a good job of being able to move on to the next game by staying in the moment.” On if he felt more confident in starting Mac (Sceroler) instead of Kyle (Cedotal)… “Yeah, Mac has been a good one for us all year long. Obviously from a numbers standpoint, he’s kind of emerged as our number one. Also we want Cedotal at his fullest. He pitched Wednesday and Sunday in the tournament. We gave him a rest against Central Arkansas because his velocity had been down before that. We came out in the first game of the tournament and he was back to 86 to 90.

    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS ASSOCIATION (June 17, 2017) ncbwa.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Todd Miles, NCBWA ([email protected]) OREGON STATE’S PAT CASEY SELECTED AS 2017 NCBWA NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR OMAHA – After leading Oregon State to one of the most dominating seasons in college baseball history, including a trip to the 2017 College World Series, Oregon State’s Pat Casey has been named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association National Coach of the Year. “Coach Pat Casey has taken OSU to the best record at this point in the season since Texas’ 1975 NCAA championship team finished 59-6,” said NCBWA executive director Bo Carter. “No team has dominated Division I like this in decades, and it speaks of the great coaching ability and leadership of Coach Casey. He definitely deserves this national honor.” The Beavers advanced to the CWS under Casey with an Oregon State single-season record 54 wins (54-4 overall), and set a Pac-12 Conference record for wins, while finishing league play with a 27-3 mark. Casey’s Beavers own the two longest winning streaks in college baseball in 2017 with a 23-game streak and an active 21-game streak. On May 12, Casey became just the 16th active coach to reach 1,000 wins with a four-year program. After opening the season ranked seventh in the NCBWA preseason poll, Casey led the Beavers to 28 wins in their first 29 games including the 23-game win streak. The Beavers moved into the top spot in every national poll in late March and remained the nation’s No.

    Mike Martin National Coach of the Year presented by the NCBWA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Bobby Alworth, NCBWA, ([email protected]) TENNESSEE’S VITELLO NAMED 2021 NCBWA MIKE MARTIN NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR PULLMAN, Wash. (NCBWA) – After leading the Volunteers to the NCAA College World Series, Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello has been named the 2021 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Mike Martin National Coach of the Year. Vitello led his Tennessee club to Omaha for the first time since 2005, while reaching the 50-win mark for the first time since 1995. The Volunteers earned a No. 3 national seed, hosted an NCAA Regional for the first time since 2005 and swept their regional with a 9-8 win over Wright State in the opener before capping the perfect weekend with a pair of wins over Liberty, 9-3 and 3-1, to earn a spot in the Super Regionals for the first time since 2005. Tennessee stayed hot with a Super Regional sweep over No. 14 LSU, taking the opener 4-2 before erupt- ing for a 15-6 clinching win behind program NCAA Tournament single-game records for runs and home runs (6) to earn its fifth trip to the College World Series. “It is very fitting that Tony Vitello won the inaugural NCBWA Coach of the Year Award named in honor of Hall of Fame member Mike Martin,” said NCBWA executive director Bo Carter. “Coach Vitello put together possibly the best season in Tennessee baseball history and is very deserving of this top honor.

  • 2007 Outlook
    2007 Outlook INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW TIGERS COACHES REVIEW HISTORY RECORDS The Paul Mainieri Era LSU Begins Since becoming LSU’s baseball coach on June 28, Paul Mainieri has learned much about the Fighting Tiger program, including its magnificent tradition, its loyal fans and its expectations of winning championships. Most importantly, Mainieri and his assistant coaches – Terry Rooney, Cliff Godwin and Blair Barbier – have spent the past several months educating themselves about the assets of the young men that comprise the 2007 LSU squad. Mainieri said that the Tigers’ four-week fall practice session in October revealed much about the team’s assets. “We found out an awful lot about our team this fall, and most of it was very good,” Mainieri said. “I don’t think we’re going to have many candidates for All-American this year, but I do think the kids are going to play hard, they’re going to play with a lot of enthusiasm, and I do think we have enough talent to win.” The ’07 Tigers feature 18 returning lettermen, including four position starters and seven pitchers that recorded innings last season. The youthful squad includes 23 freshmen and sophomores – and just four seniors - on a 37-man roster. “I do think we have enough talent to be a very competitive team this spring,” Mainieri said. “The kids have really responded to a new style of coaching, and it’s been a lot of fun watching them develop.” The 2007 Tigers Lettermen Returning/Lost: 18/14 Position Starters Returning/Lost: 4/5 Pitchers Returning/Lost: 7/7 Returning Redshirts: 2 Newcomers: 17 (11 high school players, 4 JUCO transfers, 2 four-year college transfers) By Class By State Seniors: 4 Louisiana: 25 Juniors: 10 Florida: 7 Sophomores: 11 Alabama: 2 Freshmen: 12 Mississippi: 2 Maine: 1 58 2007 LSU BASEBALL OFFICIAL YEARBOOK 2007 Outlook Position Players INTRO THIS IS LSU While pleased with the work ethic and team, is the Tigers’ projected starter at He batted .273 with two doubles, one PREVIEW energy displayed by the LSU position second base.
